Hormone Replacement Therapy

Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is a treatment commonly prescribed by gynecologists to alleviate symptoms associated with hormonal imbalances, particularly during menopause.

It involves supplementing the body with hormones, such as estrogen and progesterone, to restore balance and mitigate symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, and vaginal dryness. In some cases, testosterone may also be included for women with certain conditions.

Dr. Kale carefully assesses a patient’s health history, individual needs, and risks before recommending HRT, ensuring it aligns with the woman’s overall health goals. This therapy can also help protect against bone loss and osteoporosis, though its use is personalized based on the patient's risk profile and preferences.
